MESH COMMUNICATIONS

Stronger with
the grid.
Unbroken without it.

Stolo weaves radio, Wi-Fi, and cellular — and any other medium — into one encrypted self-healing mesh. When infrastructure is up, it uses the best link for speed. When it isn't, your team keeps talking anyway.

§ 02 ADAPTIVE PATH SELECTION

One message. Every medium. One delivery.

A single message can cross Radio, Wi-Fi, cellular — and any other link you add. The mesh picks the best medium for every hop and stitches them together without you noticing.

§ 03 GETTING STARTED

Three Steps. Easy Setup.

A kit ships with everything you need. Pre-configured for your team.

Ship.

A kit lands at your site — handhelds, Peak relays, every device pre-paired to your network identity.

Pre-configured out of the box
Admin adds team members from a web console
Managed install per phone or laptop

Deploy.

Relays and handhelds deployed, phones install the app. Peers find each other automatically — no pairing codes, no IT ticket.

< 60 seconds boot to mesh
End-to-end encrypted
Works indoors, underground, off-grid

Talk.

Your team uses Stolo like any messaging app — chats, groups, files, location — except it keeps working past the edge of coverage.

Familiar interface, day one
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux
Store-and-forward when peers drop

§ 04 HOW STOLO COMPARES

How Stolo compares. Honestly.

Cellular and satellite are great where they work — we're not trying to replace your phone. Here's where Stolo wins, and where another stack is the right call.

Capability	STOLO MESH	CELLULAR LTE	SATELLITE
Works without infrastructureNo towers, no providers, no cloud	Yes, by design	Never	Needs open sky
End-to-end encryptedWho can read your traffic	Keys on devices only	Carrier sees metadata	Operator sees traffic
Survives disconnectionMessages wait for offline peers	Store-and-forward	Drops on outage	Drops on outage

§ 05 PLATFORM

Field properties, not features.

The properties that make Stolo work when nothing else does.

01 · RADIO◼

Radio, Wi-Fi, cellular, cable — and more, used at once.

Not fallbacks. The mesh picks the best medium per packet and switches mid-session.

Anymedium

LoRa · Wi-Fi · Ethernet · cellular · packet radio · serial · satellite · I2P · custom

02 · SELF-HEALING◼

Routes re-form without a controller.

No central server, no dispatch. When any link drops, the graph re-negotiates itself in under a second.

03 · RANGE◼

10km+

Radio transport range per relay. Chain for indefinite coverage.

04 · ENCRYPTION◼

AES-256 end-to-end.

Keys live on the devices. Not on our server — not on anyone's.

05 · BATTERY◼

72hrs

Internal + solar. Masts run unattended for days.

06 · RUGGED◼

Built for the weather.

Sealed against dust, rain, and drops. Designed for the conditions that kill phones.

07 · STORE & FORWARD◼

Survives multi-day outages.

Messages queue on-device, signed and sealed. They deliver the instant the recipient comes back within reach — hours or days later, unchanged.

§ 06 QUESTIONS WE GET

The honest ones.

If you're evaluating Stolo against radios, satellite, or a consumer chat app, these are the questions we hear — in order.

Does Stolo need any internet at all?+

No. Two Stolo units form a mesh on their own. If internet is available, Stolo will use it as one more transport medium — but the network works identically without it.

How does this compare to a radio?+

Radios are point-to-point and have no file sharing, no groups, no history, no encryption. Stolo gives you the usability of modern messaging with the infrastructure-independence of a radio network — and it runs alongside your existing radios, not against them.

Can Stolo read my traffic?+

No. Every message is end-to-end encrypted with AES-256. Keys live on devices, not on our servers. We literally don't have the ability to read your traffic — by design, there is no server in the path.

What happens when someone is out of range?+

Messages queue on peers in the mesh, signed and sealed. The moment that person returns to range — minutes, hours, or days later — the message delivers. The sender sees a "pending" state until it lands.

Does this work indoors, in canyons, underground?+

Stolo is a mesh — not line-of-sight. If there's a hop available, the packet finds it. Typical deployments place one Peak relay per 3–5 handhelds for indoor/canyon coverage.
